The Fun Part is Easy

The Fun Part is Easy at ASlobComesClean.com

This was my dining room table on Saturday morning:

It had been piled high with random books since I made a video more than a week before.

When I needed to make the video, it was really fun to go through the house grabbing armful after armful of books to use as props.

My Dining Room Table, Covered with Books

At that point, I was being creative, using my imagination, and doing what needed to be done to make a project happen.

After it was over, though, the excitement of carrying books (HEAVY books) was gone.

Randomly grabbing is ever-so-much more fun than sorting and putting back in designated places.

But after tripping over the (not pictured) fourth pile of books on the floor . . . for eight days, and after answering my husband’s question about why there were almost 100 books piled up in the dining room, I finally put them back.

Not glamorous in the least.

But my dining room does look better.

And I stuck about 20% of the books in the Donate Box, so there’s that, too.

    Hey, you snuck in my house and took a photo of MY dining room table. I think I even have the same books you do.

    wandering off to do my dishes now…
